In 2003 Sybase on Linux became a reality for business and performance critical applications. In 2004 the floodgates for production servers are likely to open. This Masterclass reviewed the current state of ASE and Replication Server on Linux. Latest versions, current platform support, data migration and upgrade issues were covered, and an update provided on performance testing - lessons learned and results achieved - during the 2nd half of 2003. There were more contributions to the device types debate, and a perspective on 64 bit support (which is expected to go GA not long after the time of the class).
